| Permanent-residence pathway | A principal ordinary route to Lithuanian/EU long-term resident status requires five years of continuous residence while holding temporary residence permits, subject to statutory continuity and absence limits, income and language/integration conditions, and category-specific counting rules. Not all study, Blue Card, family, or special-status periods count identically; five years alone does not guarantee approval.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |
